Powisset Farm has a long history of agricultural
enterprises, from a dairy farm many years ago, to Amelia Peabody’s legendary
farm, famous for its breed stock of Hereford cattle and Yorkshire pigs. Many visitors remember fondly the
glowing green pastures dotted with cattle and framed by beautiful barns.
Today, our farm is better known for its CSA (community
supported agriculture) operation. In 2007, we began a CSA operation with
100 shares, and are currently growing
for 300 members, or roughly 500 families. By purchasing a share at
Powisset farm, CSA members help to create
community around our farm and their commitment to locally grown produce.
They receive vegetables each week
throughout the growing season, and participate in our pick-your-own
crops as
well, like fruits and flowers. We
also host an on-farm market one day per week at our farm, so that
non-shareholders have access to Powisset produce. In addition to these
outlets, our farm donates produce to four local
hunger relief partners each week, in order to make sure that our produce
reaches as many people as possible.
At Powisset Farm we are committed to growing our community
by connecting people to food and the land on which it grows. We host farm events, volunteer opportunities,
grassroots workshops, farm tours, and work-for-share opportunities. Come visit our farm and join in our
community! |
